Stories, tales, fables and legends are present in all parts of the world. Some are just for fun and distraction, others have a deeper meaning. For example, fables often come with some kind of moral lesson. But we will tell the tale of Naita Aka Oni, The Red Ogre That Wept.
Anyway, these stories are always interesting to hear and learn their lessons. And as our focus is Japan, nothing fairer than bringing a history of this country. It's a tale about a red ogre and a blue ogre. And one of the most popular in Japan.
It may be a story aimed at children, but it is still interesting for all audiences. And if you like this story, we have another very interesting one here on the site, the tale of the old man who bloomed trees.
You must have heard this story in an anime or manga. I myself have noticed something related in Ore Monogatari, Darling in the franxx, DBZ and even Monster.
Naita Aka Oni - The Red Ogre That Cried
Once, there were two ogres. One was red in color and the other was blue. The red ogre wanted to befriend the children who lived in a nearby village. With that, the red ogre placed a sign in front of his house:
- House of a Gentle Ogre
- you are all welcome
- Tasty tea and cakes available
However, no one came, and the red ogre was puzzled, sad and angry. "I'm such a kind ogre, why wouldn't anyone visit me?" In despair and torment, the red ogre dropped the sign: "This is useless".
His friend, the blue ogre, moved by his friend's feelings, told him: "Look, I have a plan".
The blue ogre's plan was for him to pretend to terrorize the children. However, while he was terrorizing the children, the ogre would appear. And he would rescue the children by pretending to chase away and chase the blue ogre.
And so it was done, and the whole plan went off without a hitch. Making the red ogre the most popular creature among the children, and everyone came to play with him.
After enjoying the company of children for some time, the red ogre found a letter from the blue ogre. The letter read: “My dear Red Ogre, if people find out that you are friends with the Bad Blue Ogre, they will no longer let the children come to you. So I'm leaving. Please live happily with the children. Goodbye, Blue Ogre. "
Desperate at not knowing what to do, the red ogre yelled, “The blue ogre is gone! A dear friend of mine! He's gone!” And he cried. However, her tears could no longer undo what happened.
The red ogre and the blue ogre would never meet again. Because of his negligence, he ended up losing his dear friend.

When we stop to reflect on history, we see that we can learn some good lessons from it. However, we also see that we make several mistakes similar to this without even realizing it.
As they say, “we only value what we have when we lose it”. We have a lot of amazing things on our side, and we don't even care about most of them. Stories like these serve to give us a new look at the things around us.
Another very interesting thing that we can take away from this story is the notion of true friendship. We don't all have friends we can count on for everything. These friendships are truly rare for us.
